Background Information: This bronze spiral ring is characteristic of the personal ornaments widely produced and worn throughout European Bronze Age. Spiral forms are among the most recognisable designs of the period and occur in a variety of objects, including finger rings, earrings, hair rings, bracelets, and dress accessories. Their enduring popularity reflects both their practical function and their decorative appeal. Bronze jewellery was crafted by skilled metalworkers using well-established casting and forging techniques. After casting, objects were often shaped by hammering and finished by carefully winding the metal into spirals or coils. The production of such ornaments formed part of a sophisticated metallurgical tradition that flourished across European Bronze Age. Spiral ornaments were worn by men, women, and children, depending on their size and form, and served as items of personal adornment as well as indicators of identity and status. Similar examples have been recovered from settlements, burials, and hoards, demonstrating their widespread use and the extensive exchange networks through which bronze objects and raw materials circulated across Europe. Dating from approximately 1500–600 B.C., this ring belongs to the later phases of the European Bronze Age, a period marked by highly developed metalworking traditions and long-distance trade. It forms a tangible connection to the prehistoric world, where objects of this kind accompanied their owners in everyday life and reflected the craftsmanship and artistic traditions of Bronze Age communities.
